Abstract Aim Evidence about factors influencing quality of life after inguinal hernia surgery is scarce. This study aimed to identify predictors of low Quality of Life (QoL) after open inguinal hernia repair, to guide practice and inform patients at high risk. Material and Methods Prospective multicentric cohort study including consecutive patients undergoing elective open inguinal hernia repair in Portuguese hospitals (October-December 2019). The primary outcome was Quality of Life at 3 months after surgery, using the EuraHS-QoL score (higher score correlates with lower QoL). Low QoL was defined as the higher EuraHS-QoL score tertile and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors. Results 893 patients were included from 33 hospitals. The majority were men (89.9% [800/891]), had unilateral hernias 88.7% (774/872) and the most common surgical technique was Lichtenstein’s repair (52.9% [472/893]). The median QoL score was 24 (IQR 10-40) before surgery and 2 (IQR 0-10) at 3 months after surgery, showing significant improvement (p < 0.001). After adjustment, low QoL at 3 months was associated with low preoperative QoL (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.21-2.57, p = 0.003), non-absorbable mesh fixation (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.12-2.41, p = 0.011), severe immediate postoperative pain (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.66-5.11, p < 0.001) and minor postoperative complications (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.30-3.84, p = 0.004). Conclusions This study supports the use of the EuraHS-QoL score preoperatively to inform consent. Although significant improvement in QoL is expected after surgery, high scores before surgery are associated with low postoperative QoL. Caution should be taken with non-absorbable mesh fixation and immediate postoperative pain control should be optimised.

Abstract Background Hernia is a common problem of the modern world with an incidence ranging from 5%-7%. Of all groin hernias, around 75% are inguinal hernias. Recently with advancement in laparoscopy, endoscopic repairs seem to offer better quality of life, decreasing hospital stay and early return to work. Aim of the Work To compare between self fixating mesh and non self fixating mesh in laproscopic inguinal hernia repair transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach as regards intraoperative time, complications, postoperative pain, return to normal activity and incidence of recurrence. Patients and Methods This study was conducted on 30 adult patients presenting with inguinal hernias. They were divided into 2 equal groups of 15 patients each. The first group (A): includes fifteen patients and was operated upon by a Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernioplasty technique using self -gripping (SGM group) (Parietex ProGrip] Laparoscopic (PPL) meshes), while the second group (B): includes fifteen patients and were operated upon by a Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernioplasty technique with non-self fixating mesh. Results The postoperative pain assessment at 24 hours and 4 weeks shows that the mean VAS score for GROUP A was (3.70 ± 1.72) and for GROUP B (3.90 ± 1.25) while after 1 month duration follow up, the mean VAS score was (1.25 ± 0.79) for Group A and (1.20 ± 0.77) for Group B with no difference between the two groups confirming the atraumatic nature of the self gripping mesh. Conclusion After this comparative study, both mesh fixation with absorpable tacks and fixation using SGM approaches are similarly effective in terms of operative time, the incidence of recurrence, complications and chronic pain coinciding with all the available literature.

Background: Inguinal hernia affects both men and women but is much more common in men who comprise over 90% of operated patients.  The purpose of this study was to determine whether elimination of tacking the mesh during endoscopic inguinal hernia repair results in decreased postoperative pain or complications, or both, without increasing the incidence of hernia recurrence.Methods: Patients age between 18 to 70 yrs, willing for laparoscopic surgery, suitable for elective laparoscopic surgery were included in the study. TEP or TAPP endoscopic inguinal hernia repairs would be performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Data collection have done by using a structured pre-prepared case performa. The patient evaluated both by radiological and laboratory investigations both pre-operatively and post-operatively.Results: There is no major significant difference in pain at 1 month after operation in both the group. Recurrence was higher among patient having mesh fixation and it was not statistically significant. Wound infection was occurring more among without fixation group and it was not statistically significant. Urinary retention was reported more among without fixation group and it was not statistically significant.  Conclusions: Thus, it was concluded that there is no significant difference in recurrence rate in the both study group either with fixation or without fixation. There is no significant difference in pain at one month in the both study group either with fixation or without fixation. There is more pain (visual analogue scale more than two) at three months after operation in fixation group as compared to without fixation group. There is also high cost in fixation group as compared to without fixation group.

Background: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is an accepted technique for the treatment of primary inguinal hernias. There are several ways of mesh fixation including absorbable, non-absorbable staplers and even human fibrin glue. Little evidence is found when looking for a difference in recurrence rates between the first two.
